Lance is black, the son of the local priest, I'm Italian, and my father sends lots of business his father's way on their way to the hereafter.

I rushed back from out of town overnight when my best friend, Siobhan Coventry, went into labor. After learning that both mother and child were safe, I got teary-eyed with emotion.

"I thought you said the baby would take your last name. Is his biological father's last name Kessler?" She gave me a vague hum before quickly changing the subject.

We exited the fire station, and he immediately put Sheena in the backseat of Sir Gaze's car, so I followed them as well. I am feeling tired right now. I'm sick of escaping. Sheena is right; it is exhausting to simply run and run, but that is all we have right now.
